The Star Wars fandom is in a complicated situation. The recent television series created for Disney Plus is not achieving the goals expected, but the showrunner already has plans to continue creating similar stories. Leslye Headland wants to expand the story of the top-rated RPG of Star Wars, and has declared that he wants to carry KOTOR to live-action.
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic, also known as KOTOR, is a classic RPG from the galactic franchise that surprised the industry in the early 2000's, showing a new perspective on history that does not focus on the Skywalker lineage. In spite of the lack of iconic characters like Luke and Anakin, BioWare managed to create memorable characters that managed to further expand the Star Wars universe.
Leslye Headland's The Acolyte could be a hint of what we would see in the transition from KOTOR to live-action
Unlike The Acolyte, which is set 100 years before Episode I, KOTOR takes place approximately 4000 years before the appearance of Anakin Skywalker. The influence of the old republic on the content that enriched the ancient canon was of great importance, being one of the most explored eras in comics and novels before the acquisition of Star Wars by Disney.
However, Leslye Headland's recent project seems to go against all the norms established throughout these years of Star Wars, changing how the “Force” is perceived in the franchise, which has greatly upset fans. . Headland's ideologies are driving the franchise to a point that fans no longer expect anything from her and she still manages to disappoint. So his desire to interfere in the story created for KOTOR sets off all the alarms.

Headland revealed that the main character of his stories of the old republic would be Kreia, although he did not go into further detail about his vision for the history of this character so important to KOTOR II, he stated that his passion for the complexity of Kreia underscores his potential to bring a unique narrative to the Star Wars universe. On the other hand, The Acolyte has not yet ended at the time of writingso we don't know if it can surprise the community with something good after all the failures that have been seen during the first 3 episodes.
